Spring Break 2009: Graceland, Memphis, TN

I remember as a little girl, one with an enormously huge crush on Elvis, sitting awe struck in front of the TV watching Elvis perform.   I felt like that same little girl again today as I walked through the doorway into his home.  I can't find the words to describe how it felt to be that close to what had been a close part of him.  To walk the halls where he had walked.  I was heart-broken when as a little girl I heard that he had gotten married, he was suppose to have waited for me to grow up and marry him.  I was devastated when he died, but kept it mostly to myself....tired of getting teased.  Visiting Graceland, standing by his graveside was an experience I will always treasure.  I will always wish that I could have met him in real life...maybe in the next.  It was a wonderful day.  Larry was awesome. In-spite of his being sick, he let me spend as much time as I needed including letting me cry on his shoulder at the grave site and the hours spent wandering aimlessly at the gift shops finding just the right souvenirs. Larry claims to never having been that much of an Elvis fan in the past, but after his  experience at Graceland came away a fan.  Check out our Graceland Photo Album.
